The unforgettable melodies of Jerome Kern highlight his own life story - which is also the story of a single man who proved that Americans can write great show music. Kern had to go abroad and achieve success in England
before the great producers of his youth would listen to his music. But when they did, it was the beginning of a fabulous career whose milestones are among the greatest musicals of the century.

Judy was pregnant with Liza at the time "Who?" was filmed. In the number, she dances with a group of men, asking the musical question "Who...stole my heart away?" She laughed at the situation, saying "What a song to sing in
my present condition!"

Jerome Kern, who was employed by MGM to assist in the making of the film, died shortly before it was finished, so the film became a tribute to his career.

MGM released the soundtrack of the film on 78RPM album (MGM 1) - MGM's first, and the first soundtrack ever released, starting a trend that continues today. The soundtrack has since been released on 33RPM LP (Metro Records M-578) and on compact disc (Sony AK47029).

Unfortunately, this film apparently fell into public domain in the late 1980s or early 1990s. Since then, there have been many, many VHS tapes, laserdiscs and DVDs released by companies who have no concern for quality. Beware when purchasing this film (or
soundtrack), that most releases are of very poor quality.

"After raising quizzical eyebrows several times in the casting of Judy Garland as Marilyn Miller in Till the Clouds Roll By, I must now admit that she plays the part astonishingly well...I must say in all honesty that
it is difficult to think of anyone who could have done so more successfully."

- John K. Newnham, Dance Film Notes, April 1947

"... A glamorized biography of the late Jerome Kern ... Some twenty-five of the pleasanter personalities MGM owns or could snag for the occasion are on hand, and they go through about two dozen of Kern's graceful, contagious
tunes, neck-deep in sumptuous production ... Judy Garland is charming as the late Marilyn Miller and still more charming when she sings 'Who'."
